TDP Testimonial

The TDP at Radiance was one of the most impactful and powerful experiences in my life. Not only did I learn how to be an effective yoga teacher, but how to be a more empowered human being on and off the mat. It was a lot of work and demanded a great willingness to uncover parts of myself that weren’t always easy to bring to light, but the impact on my life as a whole has been so potent and rewarding. The amount of growth and knowledge I have gained about myself has been the greatest gift and I am so grateful for the humans who held the space for this work. I cannot recommend this program enough!

TDP Testimonial

I had a general idea of what I would learn from the RPY Teacher Development Program…and what I got out was so much more than what I had expected. Not only did I learn about the history of yoga, which gave some context to my practice, it also provided tools, resources, and guidance on how to deepen my practice through discussion points and inquiry work. As a result, it allowed me to get out of my comfort zone (physical and mentally), apply what I’ve learned on and off my mat (personally / professionally), and has changed my perspective in general. Overall, it’s been an incredible journey of mindfulness and self-awareness, and ability to stay grounded.

TDP Testimonial

Prior to TDP, I felt a lack of stability in my life. This program gave me the tools to approach those same situations in ways that put integrity and perspective at the forefront. This training provided me with various opportunities to show myself I could do things I never thought I could. I learned how to be vulnerable and, in turn, how to hold space for others to be vulnerable. I explored what it means to be authentic and found my own voice in the process. I started to feel comfortable in uncertainty and not knowing what was coming next. Everything I gained in this program was possible because of supportive teachers who want to see you succeed, not only as a yoga teacher, but as a unique individual. I left the program with more confidence in myself and my ability to move through challenging times with ease.

TDP Testimonial

RPY’s TDP was my 2nd 200hr YTT and was more powerful than I ever could have imagined. The interwoven curriculum and discussions allowed me to better understand and apply yogic philosophy to my modern day life. The facilitator support and styles of practice teaching allowed me to move out my comfort zone and teach in a way I never have! As a teacher, I left feeling more empowered than I have from any of my previous trainings. As a human, I am grateful for the space held by each person present as I moved through deeply personal work, as well. This training is a gift for learning how to do life in ways which work best for you, how to practice yoga in ways you never imagined, and how to lead yourself and those around you.

Jessica Finver

I was drawn to the yoga mat for the physical challenge, and quickly discovered and fell in love with the many, ever changing rigors of the practice. The work I have done on my mat has since transformed my relationship with myself in such a way that I feel compelled to share that magic with others through teaching. I have completed two 200hr Baptiste Yoga teacher trainings, and over 200hrs of yoga trainings with the Baptiste Institute. My classes are both nurturing and rigorous – a combination that I believe encourages possibility and openness in our bodies and minds.

In Boulder, Peter taught yoga part time at Radiance Power Yoga. At Naropa he studied yoga history, philosophy, Sanskrit, and eastern music. Over the years Peter has also completed approximately 400 hours of training through the Baptiste Institute. Peter has completed levels 1, 2, and 3, along with a few weekend long programs.

Special Guest

Kate Mulheron

Over the last twenty five years, Kate has practiced many styles of yoga as a vehicle to support her healing and evolution. Her great love of yoga has significantly impacted her practice, life, and spirit and has taught her a greater understanding of the healing power of breath and movement within the physical, emotional, and energetic layers of the human body.

She completed her Hot Yoga Teacher Training in December of 2008. She then went on to train with Ana Forrest in October of 2009, which was one of the most pivotal experiences of her life. Ana showed her how to work with energy to help the body realign, and in that, Kate felt one of her authentic gifts begin to emerge

On her journey, Kate knew she had to break out of her detrimental patterns and choose a new way that would allow her to be authentic and to use her true gifts and talents. During this time she met her spiritual teacher, Trudy Welty. Trudy is known as a wisdom holder from her tradition, where she learned (and now shares) how to live and work with Nature in a sacred way. Trudy awakened Kate to the knowing that she is a Sensitive, and how Mother Nature and her energies could help her live more cohesively in the world. She continues her studies with Miss Trudy to this day.

As Kate continued teaching and evolving in her healing ways, how she taught yoga shifted, and through her healing evolution, she was guided and then inspired to create a yoga style that worked with the elements of Nature. She began creating a style with the support of Kelly Kessen, a teacher of Five Elements Acupuncture, and Earth Ways Yoga began. She invited Miss Trudy Welty to share a depth of relating between the natural world and humans — hence, learning to walk in balance on the earth and honoring all relationships. Earth Ways Yoga builds the bridge between Mother Nature and the human experience through yoga, meditation and ritual. Kate is honored to offer these teachings that only embodied experience can invoke.

Kate has a flourishing virtual private practice based on the Western Slope of Colorado, and offers live workshops across the country. The Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa (Salida) and the Wild Cooperative (Crawford) are regular and beloved retreat hosts, where she leads live events in Colorado, as well as other retreats in California and around the country. Kate is available to travel to lead workshops or retreats around the country by request.
